Splendid Aikanár, will be very interesting to check this out

[Mhaedros]

Very interesting submod +rep

[Beorn]

Very good, Aikee!
After hearing Ozz's voiceacting it's no wonder that my recordings didn't make it to a release

[Aikanár]

Splendid Aikanár, will be very interesting to check this out

The subtitles are not that lore-ish at all atm. will be done

Very interesting submod +rep

Thanks, I hope you enjoy it

Very good, Aikee!

LOL Beorn, I do remember your recordings and my lips are sealed

[Ngugi]

@ Beorn
Voice acting is one H of a challenge Both get right voice, the editing and overall quality is a though nut to crack o.0

@ Aikanár
Damn, would guessed you were from Finland listening to the mp3:s in case I havd not read at your page your were from south Europe haha. Figure thats an Elven credit!

[Aikanár]

Ah, my voice is not included All credit for voiceacting has to go out to Ozzmosis *points to the credits*
My voice is a little different and might be heared elsewhere *points to his sig* acting elven voices sometime in the future
And @southern Europe: gnihihi, not quite right, still north of the Alpes, but hey, the emperor Joseph II's quote is most of the times interpreted in a wider sense

[Ngugi]

Aha, true, then its Ozzmosis who sounds close to a mumin troll!

Fine, your right, but as a swede all but Norway and Russia isn't south

Very true

[dannyalex]

Thank you!

[Mhaedros]

I've tried it out now, and it's really cool! Are you going to make something similar for other factions? I'm thinking about making something for the Dwarves

[Beorn]

U would need to find more than the scraps of data for Khuzdul that we already know
Aikanar had searched various language expressions of the Firstborn in the books and even "composed"(literaly, dealing with Sindarin & Quenya grammar and pronunciation issues) some on his own to make a fairly impressive list of to-be-recorded content.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Aikee, where's my cookie now?

[Mhaedros]

Yes of course I read somewhere that Adunaic and Khuzdul have many words incommon, since the edain borrowed words from the dwarves they met in Ered-Lindon during the FA. Anyway, this is off-topic

[Aikanár]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it

First of all, I will finish the Elves, there's still a lot to do for them.
And then there isn't enough Khűzdul to really make use of it.
What could be done is an Adűnaic accent, besides the fact that it doesn't make sense at the end of the third age

Edit: *throws a cockie in Beorns direction*

[Beorn]

We could always give dwarves a Scottish accent

edit: *grasps the cookie in the air and runs to eat it at a safe place*

[Mhaedros]

About the Adunaic thing, I just got corrected by Ngugi, the master of quotes

[Aikanár]

Har, I thought you were kidding, thus I did not take it serious concerning the "in common" ...
As said, an Adűnaic accent could be done, but wouldn't make much sense for the late third age, but it could well be a long-dated project as a ressource for say 2nd Age and early 3rd Age mods.
But first things first, I've a tight schedule concerning modding, there is Dragonborn, obviously this here, then I owe Aradan a fair amount of time and voices to record, then there is lore, sometime in fall or winter ah and there is everything else besides modding, which is curialism and off the web Life and and and....
And sound coding is sooo boring, really, ask everyone who did it, it is most probably one of the most boring coding-works you can imagine, the recording is fun though

[Ngugi]

Ι quite admire pity him for it, I was always too bored to post book quites save in very few cases (with short quotes too), despite having all the stuff in .pdf

I know you love it.

It's not a thrill, that much is clear ^^
